Out of the -greaL sack 'between the North sea and the Lys river the enemy is fleeing fast in an endeavor to prevent capture or intern ment 'in Holland. His hope is that he will be able to reach Antwerp and there reconstitute his line. To the east the Americans on both sides of the Meuse river are slowly going forward. _ Between the great wooded bastion and the Meuse picked troops have been chosen to fend' the blow northward toward Sedan. All the grou'nd that is being won is being valiantly defended to the last. In the Macedonian theater, the Greeks are now in full possession of Greek Macedonia, Albania is-- fast being cleared of the enemy and in Serbia the ’Teutpnic allied forces have been driven 30 miles north of Nish.
